Zion's latest high-end carriage suddenly stopped and stopped moving before reaching its destination.
William and Daisy Lin also discovered something at the same time: the horse responsible for pulling the carriage, which was a reformed death row prisoner, was dead.
They both got out of the car to check.
The gray area that permeates here has reached the fourth forbidden level given by Zion. Ordinary gentlemen will definitely die in such a gray area.
The cement road has become completely diseased.
A fishbone-like structure runs through the center of the road, serving as the 'ridge' of the road, while the road surface is covered with silver fish scales.
The entire road looks like a ribbon fish extending infinitely in the gray fog.
But the horse's death had nothing to do with the road. He was drowned, and water was constantly seeping from his eye sockets, nostrils and mouth.
William performed a skull opening on the horse and discovered that the cranial cavity was also filled with seawater.
The moisture in the air is also mixed with deep-sea Vibrio, which is very deadly to life below the open source, and even open source patients will feel very uncomfortable.
There is also a non-fatal disease that affects horses, in which the horses' teeth have completely fallen out, leaving black holes in every gum.
"How could the influence of the Gray Realm be so strong?"
“Of course, the horse was able to survive here entirely because the prisoner had some illness, otherwise he would have died hours ago.
Such a thick gray area is fatal to most gentlemen. Only individuals like us who have completed the path and are fully recognized by the old world will not feel anything. "
When she said this, Deslin suddenly covered her cheek with her hand. A piercing toothache made her whole body tense.
William also felt that a virus more aggressive than deep-sea vibrio was quietly infiltrating his body.
However, no matter how hidden this virus is, even if it does not invade the brain or blood but only targets the teeth, anyone who dares to attack William's "gestalt body" will be discovered immediately.
Just like a nimble ninja sneaking into a street secretly under the cover of night,
He was not interested in the various shops and residential buildings on this street.
Instead, they targeted the street lights as a starting point, hoping to pry open the lights and invade the entire street through the wires buried underneath.
Just as the ninja was tinkering with the street lights, a group of strange people walked out of the darkness. Some were shaking their chest muscles, some were tearing flesh with steel nails, some were stepping on sheep's hooves, and there were even giant black parasites full of holes.
No matter how many destructive ninjutsu the ninja used, he was still pinned to the ground and beaten madly. He was beaten so badly that even his mother didn't recognize him. In the end, he was smashed into a pulp and poured into the sewer.
"Principal, it should be some kind of tooth-related virus. Do you need me to help you clean it?"
"No need~"
The palm of Deslin's hand pressed against her cheek emitted bursts of starlight, and the latent viruses that had just taken root in the surface of the tooth nerve were immediately irradiated by the cosmic rays and all died.
"I've heard for a long time that the viruses in dental clinics are very secretive. It's really powerful... Just this kind of common virus that is spread around casually can invade my mouth without me noticing."
"Interesting~ I didn't expect there is such an epidemic source area. Let's go there quickly."
William was already excited and couldn't wait to see what a cross-infected port city would look like. The two of them stepped on the fishbones in the center of the road and kept approaching the direction where the sound of the tide came from.
The principal was practicing stargazing throughout the whole process. Planet-like objects could be seen rotating between his palms, trying to capture possible dangers in advance.
In this case, William just followed behind obediently and even took the opportunity to communicate with Nash.
"Nash, do you know much about dental clinics?"
"The dental clinic is very famous in our old world. This is the 'general hospital' of our old world, a special source of epidemics. Its positioning is the same as that of a monastery, and it is an important institution affiliated with the center of the disease.
During the war, the dental clinic also provided important medical support, allowing many patients who should have died to recover in a short time and return to the battlefield as long as they were sent to the dental clinic or its branches.
It's a pity that such an important place was naturally targeted by outsiders, and the entire dental clinic suffered a serious blow. It was rumored that the director with the most brilliant medical skills, who was also an epidemic leader in the old world, was assassinated.
After the war, the dental clinic was unable to recover and disappeared.
Even though the source of the epidemic died, the dental clinic retained the title of the source epidemic area due to its special nature. It has been developing secretly, using the epidemic book "Stomatology" supplied by the lesion center to develop talents and try to train a new director.
It’s a pity that I haven’t heard any relevant news until now. After all, it’s too difficult to give birth to an epidemic master in an environment like the old world which is blocked by various rules.
Now it seems that they are focusing on this world. 』
William was somewhat surprised by the information Nash gave, "A special source epidemic area? The source of the epidemic was also killed during the war... No wonder such a well-known source epidemic area disappeared. I have never heard of it or seen it before."
According to the principal, the dental clinic should now have become a mobile organization similar to the Duke's Chamber of Commerce, secretly bringing in some dying people, one to provide treatment, and the other to screen talents.
Unfortunately, thousands of years have passed, and talents still have not been selected. 』
Nash also shook his head, "Plague Master~ It's too difficult! How can it be that easy? Since the end of the war, there has not been a single Plague Master in the entire Old World. Perverts like Mr. Rabbit, Jaan, and Art are still in the Silver Circle."
"I didn't expect you to know so much, Nash."
Nash was praised like this and immediately scratched his transparent head with his whip. "Hehe~ I often have nothing to do in the circus. After all, when I was the supervisor, I didn't need to think about the performance. When I had nothing to do, I would chat with other poker faces. They all came from different areas. As I chatted, I knew most of the things in the old world."
"Well, let's take a look at the situation in the colony here and see if the legendary 'Old World Hospital' has brought their medical technology here.
It would be interesting if it was brought.
Moreover, this city is mixed with Archaea, I wonder what kind of infected city it will be. 』
The journey was smooth, and there was no danger except for the possible harm caused by germs floating in the air.
Slowly,
In the thick fog, there was not only the road, but also an arched hollow city gate slowly emerging, occupying the entire highway.
On both sides of the gate are brick walls, only three meters high, and the surface is covered with various corals and shells due to humidity.
The wall is decorated with dense spikes, and a few meters apart stands a statue of a fish-man with wings and a beard in the shape of octopus legs, in a half-squatting posture.
The statue's eyes were filled with teeth, which was quite disgusting.
This seemingly ordinary wall may have a better isolation effect than ordinary city walls.
William's eyes were still more focused on the city gate in front of him, which was ten meters high and had a plaque hanging on it with words from the old world.
Deeptooth
Through the hollow gate, you can vaguely see the outlines of various Gothic buildings standing inside.
When William reached out and touched the city gate,
Gurgle gurgle~ The ground covered with fish scales beside me suddenly sank and turned into a pool of water, and something began to float up.
Finally, an old fishman emerged, wearing a wet human coat.
The eyeballs are swollen and protruding, the hair on the head has fallen out, and there is a respiratory structure similar to fish gills between the neck.
The most difficult thing to accept is that this person has no lower jaw, and the exposed mouth is full of densely packed teeth, and there is even a tongue with teeth hanging in it.
When speaking, you can clearly see bubbles coming out of the throat that is filled with teeth.
"Dear Silver Circle Patient, welcome to Diptus! Since you do not belong here, you need to pay a certain fee to enter the city."
Before the other party could say anything, William directly took out fifty ancient coins from the Greedy Treasure House.
"Is that enough?"
"That's enough. Thank you, sir! I'll open the door for you right away. Do you need me to lead the way?"
"No need."
William didn't want this guy who looked like he had trypophobia to lead the way. It would be more interesting to explore on his own.
The gate opens and a port city that retains its Gothic style comes into view.
